(Feel free to dress the part!)

Join us for an evening at the speakeasy as we enjoy absinthe-inspired libations, exceptional bites, and 1930s French swing jazz by the renowned San Lyon ensemble. Proceeds to benefit VMF’s music education and community programs.

But, what will you wear!?

Step into the spirit of the evening with help from A Walk Thru Time Vintage and Costume Annex!

If you plan on “dressing the part” for the Opening Night Gala, they’re offering 20% off renting or buying authentic 1920s/1930s attire to all VMF Gala guests! These are the same production-quality pieces rented to film and theater companies. Choose from over 100 dresses for women and 50+ suits and tailcoats for men, plus accessories like headbands, gloves, cigarette holders, purses, and jewelry for her, and fedoras, gangster shoes, and zoot suits for him.

Prices range from $65 to $125.

The shop is just 20 minutes from Ventura, off the 101 Freeway at Rancho Conejo. Come dressed for the era and make the night your own!
